Abstract

Vehicle dynamic simulation has been carried out using the coherence of road roughness between left and right wheels. The generated twin tracks with the coherence of road roughness between left and right wheels are in good agreements with the measured coherence relation of left and right wheels. And these tracks reflect well on the roughness characteristics of real roads. Using the generated roads and multibody dynamic simulation program, vehicle dynamic simulation is performed. The vertical and roll motion analysis of a vehicle are carried out using the realistic road profiles with the coherence between left and right wheels and the results are in good agreements with the dynamic characteristics of a vehicle.
